Exodus 12:1-13:22
The
purpose of the Passover was to build a bridge between the past, the
present and the future: "Remember this day - the day when you left
Egypt, the land of slavery. The Lord used His mighty hand to bring you
out of there" (Exodus 13:3), "In the future, when your children ask you
what this means, tell them, " 'The Lord used His mighty hand to bring us
out of slavery in Egypt'" (Exodus 13:14). What must be remembered about
these events is this: the Lord was in control. Once they had come out
of Egypt, God continued to be in control of their journey. In
Exodus 13:17-18, we read that God closed one door - "the shortest route"
- and opened another door. God's perfect way may not always be "the
shortest route" - but it is His way, and it's the best way.
